Venice was what I dreamed it’d be. The water + canals, buildings, shops + restaurants, streets + bridges were divine. It was only a day trip from Florence but I’d love to return. There were a few things that I really loved, walking through the narrow streets going in + out of shops + watching the gondolas. We decided not to get on one in the interest of time. 

There is a HANDS sculpture titled SUPPORT by Lorenzo Quinn along the Grand Canal, it is a must see in addition to the below list.

Points of interest:

• Grand Canal
• St. Mark’s Square
• Rialto Bridge 
• Burano 
• Saint Mark Basilica
• Bridge of Sighs 
• Rio del Palazzo 
• Murano
